(DP) - Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence

204. V. HEAVEN AND HELL ARE IN SUCH A FORM. It was made known that heaven is in the human form in the work HEAVEN AND HELL, published in London in 1758 (n. 59-102) also in the treatise THE DIVINE LOVE AND WISDOM; and also in several parts of this treatise. I therefore refrain from giving further proof. It is stated that hell also is in the human form; but it is in a monstrous human form, like that of the devil by whom is meant hell in the whole complex. Hell is in the human form because those who are there were also born men, and they also have the two human faculties called liberty and rationality, although they have abused their liberty in willing and doing evil, and their rationality in thinking and confirming it.
